Hollywood Deconstructed Ebook
Study Film: A Scene By Scene Breakdown of 12 Hollywood Movies
This 239 page eBook contains comprehensive scene-by-scene outlines & analyses of 12
successful movies in a PDF file, viewable and printable on both Mac & PC. Each section describes the scene action, story and character development and, where relevant, the use of visual techniques and narrative plot devices.
As a film student or screenwriter, the ebook is an invaluable reference to how successful films in different genres are structured. Deconstructing a screenplay in this way helps writers understand the aspects of story structure we do not normally comprehend when watching a movie. The ebook can be read independently or as a companion to our screenwriting software when writing your own script. Comparing the progression of these narratives and character arcs while writing your own project is highly recommended.
